Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Grinding Faces – 2nd Floor Dungeon! [1]

After my shower, I felt a bit hungry, but the prices were excessive, leaving me with only 10 gold afterwards.

Ah, but the food was amazing—never had I tasted such soft and delicious meat before, but the kind older sister wouldn’t tell me what the meat was.

Somehow I wish it wasn’t Ratmen.

[Are you ready to continue?]

“Well, I think so.”

[Not going to get some gauntlet or gloves?]

“Why?”

[…]

“???”

It then occurred to me that I now had an awesome ability that would use my fists! No wonder this pretty little fairy is useful after all!

The thoughts of wanting to leave her inside my can and run away slowly faded.

Don’t you sometimes stick your rubbish in the small hole of your can of drink to save having to carry all the mess?

Maybe it’s just me…

[…]

“Doesn’t this mean we’ll have to get robbed by the capitalist older sister?”

[You mean Carmella?]

This little fly sometimes got annoying—why did she know every answer?

Couldn’t she go along with my joke and how the pretty older sister stole more than $500 from me already?

Whatever…

So because of the biased fly that looked similar to the Capitalist woman, we moved back to the shop and began to browse the shelves for something good.

I wondered why she only appeared when you approached the counter—wouldn’t that make it easy to steal from her?

Silly woman.

[I dare you to try, idiot]

Don’t call me an idiot—I was just curious…

“Let’s see…”

The first item was a pair of tattered gloves. I wondered if they might awaken into some amazing holy relic because I touched them like some chosen hero or something.

Yet they didn’t.

[Tattered Gloves (Uncommon)] 𝑜𝓋𝔩xt.𝔠𝚘𝚖

Durability: 30/50

Attack: 2

Defence:1

Info: A pair of gloves worn by a homeless man, guiding him through thick and thin able to win the hobo turf wars of 1964.

This event is fictional.

–

Along the shelf were various weapons and items, but many were far beyond my price range, forcing me to compromise and buy the only half-decent item for me.

The other items were all grey and a little worn, but these were white and of better quality. Although they would cost 3 gold, it was a price worth it.

They were also black with silver metal protecting key points, making them look cool!

[Plated Leather Gloves (Common)]

Durability: 120/120

Attack: 5

Defence: 4

Despite having a lower attack value than that bastard sword, the defence was equal, and because I had a higher level of skill in boxing, the way to dodge, block and counter with my fists was far more effective.

Gold: 10 -> 7

My heart ached to spend so much money, and the fact it was so much of my real-world money caused the pain to grow further.

However, the stronger I was, the faster I could earn money to make life smoother!

I placed the gold on the desk and then wore the gloves on my hands.

At first, I felt conned because they were too small for my large hands, but when my fingers entered the tight opening, they expanded to fit my hand perfectly.

“Maybe the fairy will expand like this too?”

[I will sue for sexual harassment!]

“Didn’t you look and touch my cock earlier… Where is the dungeon bureau to report a crime of sexual assault?

[Shut up!]

“Okay… Did the pretty lady not show because of your bad breath?”

“You can’t do that, little one—brush your teeth, Nia!”

My main goal wasn’t to tease the fairy but to approach the second floor, so I moved to the two portals.

One was a strange purple colour spinning reverse clockwise, and the slight image of my bedroom showed the lousy bed and mouldy walls weren’t something to take pride in, but the fact I could return home was comforting.

The second one was similar to the one I used to get here, a blue colour, and the liquid shimmered like crystals in the night sky.

Let’s go and kick some ass; this man wants to make a fortune!

[Be careful. The next floor will be nothing like the one you just cleared.]

“But they will drop loot, yes?”

[Yes]

“And they will drop money?”

[Yes]

“Then why are we wasting time? Let’s go get some money!”

Woosh!

My body darted through the air, not caring if there was any way to do this, and I dived into the portal with my heart feeling light!

Bang!

Ah…

This shit again…

The hellish experience of being a t-shirt in the washing machine on a full power wash…

My body hurts…

Why are there hard things in the soft portal…

How come the damn fly can sit on my head and looks unaffected?

Life is unfair!

Two minutes later…

“Uehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! UEeeehhhh! I d-don’t wanna puke anymore!”

A scam!

The damn inn and restaurant were a scam!

That delicious beef now spewed all over the dungeon floor—who cares if it’s beautiful and glowing with the shine of blue crystals and cute creatures running around?

My 2 gold Beef! $200 worth of beef is now on the floor!

I needed some revenge…

There must be something I can do to get revenge…

Ah, there is!

[What are you doing!?]

[D-don’t come here! Shoo! Don’t put your dirty hands on me!!!]

So the fly cried, but her little wings couldn’t escape the deadly predator that grasped her tight!

“Hahaha! Little fly, taste my sorrow!”

Woosh!

So, I probably broke many laws and international agreements and made the little fly goddess eat my vomited beef by force!

…

I repent

This man hath sinned.

Now I shall becometh a saint!

[The world might forgive you…]

A dishevelled fairy flew towards me, her body covered in nasty brown and black goo with a face as if she could kill!

[BUT I NEVER WILL!]

Like this, my second dungeon experience started—the loving support and encouragement of the fairy guiding me along the dark caverns.

At least this time, the walls were filled with shiny blue crystals, and the floor was hard, with no nasty scents or mud.

The moment before she hit me, I used my newly found speed to twist my body and backhand her ass!

Thump!

I may…

Have hit her too hard and sent her smashing into the cavern wall…

Luckily she landed on a blue crystal that poked from the wall, but her body convulsed, and her eyes rolled back into her skull.

Ah…

Rai Shibuya – Godslayer… What a nice ring!

“You defeated the Fairy Queen!” I mouthed, copying her robotic voice when I killed the Ratmen.

“Let’s see what loot she dropped!”

Since my life changed, I have been learning more about myself, like I was more confident and talkative than before, and I wasn’t that introverted when it came to women who get plastic surgery on their chests and ass.

A great discovery.

[Rai Shibuya]

“Yes?”

The fairy seemed to be trying to stand, but her little slimy body just shuddered on her knee’s like she needed help.

[I will never forgive you!]

[Only you!]

[I’ll forgive the demon gods before you!]

And so she began to hurl curse words and vulgar things at me…

But those demon gods sounded like pretty nice people—if they irritate the Capitalist sisters, they must be pretty honest and good guys.

“Let’s go on our quest Nia! I shall find the holy relic and save the world!”

[What fucking relic! How are you, the hero? You’re the great demon king!]

“Ah… doesn’t that sound so cool… I am great and a king!”

[Don’t escape the reality of the second word!]

“Heh… stop playing around. It’s time to be serious.”

[Vomits blood]

“See… you are sick because you eat so much bad things… Watch your diet.”

[Tears of blood stream down her face]

I ignored the mental breakdown of my poor fairy—she seemed to suffer from delusional thoughts and dreams.

Next time, let’s buy her some candy and have her make a family with a Ken doll.

Taking a deep breath, I completely changed my focus and stopped messing around.

Pleasure filled my body when I saw so many enemies standing ahead of us due to the loud noise.

I wondered if she would be mad if I told her I used her as bait for the stupid Ratmen in this dungeon.

A beautiful fire began to dance and swirl around my fist as the 12 Ratmen looked at me menacingly.

Today I will earn the title “Ratslayer” and reach the pinnacle of slaying only rats!
